Kano State Judicial Commission to Investigate Sales and Allocation of Government Property Under Ganduje's Administration

The commission will investigate the sales of praying grounds, historical and cultural sites, houses, workshops, graveyards, and other open lands or spaces within the metropolis belonging to the government

The Kano State Judicial Commission of Enquiry on the recovery of misappropriated public property and assets has announced its intention to review the sales, disposal, and allocation of government property during the previous administration of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. The commission, chaired by Justice Farouk Adamu, aims to determine if any abuses were perpetrated during the process and identify those responsible.

The commission will investigate the sales of praying grounds, historical and cultural sites, houses, workshops, graveyards, and other open lands or spaces within the metropolis belonging to the government. It will also determine the role of government ministries, departments, agencies, or officials involved in the process and make recommendations on the recovery of improperly sold or allocated properties.

Justice Adamu emphasized that the commission is not intended to witch-hunt or prosecute anyone but rather to gather facts and submit recommendations to the state government for implementation. He urged anyone with useful information to submit it in writing and assured that the commission would be just and fair to all parties involved.

The commission was inaugurated by Governor Abba Yusuf on April 4 to investigate suspected cases of misappropriation of public property and assets in the state from 2015 to 2023. Justice Adamu appealed to the public and media to support and cooperate with the commission, avoiding politicization of its work to ensure the success of its fact-finding mission.
